Although it’s hard to leave the warm embrace of your bed early in the morning, rising before the sun in Budapest is an enormously rewarding experience. When the sun sneaks up on the horizon just above the Pest side, tangerine colors and twilight hues blur with the blue skies and silver mist envelopes the slowly awakening city. One day make your way atop Gellért Hill just before dawn, from where this special scene is the most gorgeous, and watch the world waking up below your feet. We Love Budapest photographer László Mudra took a series of fantastic photographs of yawning Budapest from above to put you in the mood. When in Budapest, don’t miss out on this literally breathtaking experience.
